Top Dinosaur Museum Hotel Reviews

Sleeping Bear Hotel Dorchester

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived late at the Sleeping Bear Hotel and the self check-in was incredibly easy and smooth. We simply pressed the green button by the door and followed the instructions. Walking through the hallway, staircase and lovely sitting/living room area with my daughter, we were pleasantly surprised by how beautiful and cosy everything looked. There were lots of comfortable sofas with cushions, making it feel just like home, and we loved that we could make coffee from the machine whenever we wanted. Our room was very clean and cosy, and the mattress was unbelievably comfortable and soft. At check-out, the two lovely ladies at reception even found me a takeaway cup so I could take my coffee with me. A truly wonderful stay — I will definitely be coming back!"

Old Ship Inn

8/10 Good

"Compact rooms, located in yard behind the pub, a little noisy around closing time, all quiet after that, not a problem unless you are planning an early night. Shower clean, good flow and hot, biscuits with the tea and coffee, twin beds comfortable but we booked a double room, suggest ringing before arrival to confirm selection. Reasonably priced, would recommend if staying one or two nights."

The Frampton Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing place to stay, eat and drink! Our room was spotless, freshly decorated - bathroom immaculate. We’ll definitely be booking a room for our next trip. Thank you to all involved in making our stay incredible!!"

Yalbury Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I have stayed due to the convenient location for work. I’ve had the warmest arrival on both occasions. The room was lovely. The bed extremely comfy. And the little touches such as fresh milk and brownies are a bonus treat. Exceptional."

The Casterbridge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely Georgian house in Dorchester High Street. Parking available nearby. Nicely decorated and spotlessly clean room, Residents lounge if you want somewhere quiet to read. Good breakfast. Host very friendly and provides good information on things to do in the area and recommendations for places to eat nearby. We stayed four nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit."
